Come in" he sal

AT twenty minutes past seven there came
into the drawingr0om, as yet empty, girl
dressed for the evening". To the general
world she was Miss Bludenel, only daugh-
ter of Mr.. Cyrus Brudenel. But she was
known among the more frivolous of her
COMPANIONS, male and female, as the Nestal,
or as Sibyl the Ncstal, or even as Dodo, for
reasons which you will Immediately under
stand if YOU are patient and place IA little
confidence in your narrator. She answered
readily to all these names, if only for the
first and most important reason that her
full baptismal name was Sibyl Dodona. She
would also, | make no doubt, have been
baptized Manic Amalthma Daphne Pytho-
nissa-and then she would have had a truly
beautiful namc-but for the fact that her
fathers classical learning was rusty. 1t
will be acknowledged, however, that her
name, even, without this compliments had
an oracular, mysterious, Pagan, and Nestal
virgin like ring. Such a name should pro
pcrly belong to a GiIl of large and lustrous
eyes and pale cheek and lofty brow, charg-
ed with the mysterious power Of an ancient
priestess, filled with the sacred fire of pro
phecy But Nature loves to turn the
Blanches into Brunettes, and make the
Niolets look like full blown Roses and the

very different kind. | was myself destined

Six months later, young man, shabbily
dressed whose boots were down at heel and
broken in the toes, walked slowly up the

The Largest Farm in the World.

Tn the extreme southwest corner of Louisiana lies tine largest pro- ducing farm in the world. It runs 100 miles north and sontl, and many miles east and west and Is owndd and operated by syndicate of Northern capitalist. Their gen- eral manager, J. B. Watkins, gives an interesting account of this gi- gantic plantations, which throws the great nalfymple firm i'll Dako- ta into the shade completely.
 "The 1, ,500.000 of our tract, Mr. Watkins said. twas purchased in fSS3 from the state of Louisiana and from the United States Gov ernment. At that time it was a vast grazing land for the cattle of the few dealers in the ncigllbor- hood. When took possession l found over 30,000 head of halt- wild horses and cattle. My work was to divide the immense tract into convenient pastures, estab- fishing stations or ranches every six miles. The fencing alone cost in the neishborhood of s50.O0O. The land I found best adapted to rice, sugar. corn, and cotton. All our cultlvating, ditching, etc, Is done by steam power. We take a tract, say half mile wide, for in- stance, and place an engine each side. The engines are portable, and operate a cable attached to four blows, and under this ar rangement we are able to blow thirty acres day with only the labor of three men. Our harrow ing. planting, and other cultivation is done in like manner; in fact, there is not single draught horse on the entire place. We have, of course, horses for the hearders of cattle, of which we now have l6,0O0 head. The Southern Pa cific Railroad runs for thirty miles through our farm. We have three steamboats operating on the waters of onI own estate, upon which there are 300 miles of navi- gable waters. We have an ice house, ban k, ship yard and a rec mill St. Louis Republican.

Home First.

Let home stand first before all other things! No matter how high your ambition may transcend it's duties, no matter how far your talents or your influence may reach beyond its doors, build up true home before everything else! Be not slave; be it's minis ter! Let it not be enough that 1t is swept and garnished, that it's silver is brilliant, that it's food is delicious; but feed tine love in II, feed the truth in it; feed thought and aspiration, feed all charity and gentleness in it. Then from its walls shall come forth the true woman and the true man, who shall together rule and bless the land. Is this an over-wrought picture! We think not. What honor can be greater than to found such a home, what dignity higher than to reign it's undispu' ted honored mstress! What IS the ability to speak from public platform to large intelligent aud fences, or the wisdom that may command seat on the judges bench, compared to that which can insure and so preside over a true home, that husband and children may rise and call her blessedV To be the guiding star, the ruling spirit, in such a position is higher than to rule an empire.

Cremation of Or. bio Lewis.

It was about 2:3O ?. m, when the party reached the building, and in few minutes the body, wrapped in an alum sheet and resting in the iron crib, was wheeled out of the preparatory room into the chapel. The furnace heat was intense. The company has been making some changes in the heating apparatus, and it is possible to obtain a much higher degree now than ever be- fore. When the iron door was opened the inside ot the retort glowed for an instant with dag zling white heat, which was chang ed instantly by the rush of cool air to crimson tint, and into this bath of rosy light the body was placed. The door was quickly closed, but through the spy-hole the body could be seen gradually becoming incandescent, until at the end of an hour the whole sur face was covered with pale blue flame In about two hours the en. tire mass had been consumed, and only a few pounds If gray ashes 
 remained in the bottom Of the oven. These were taken out later on and will be buried instead of being preserved in an urn. --Ex.

arrives, and with it the need for fer,

the year before and to make up for
the deficiency they have to dive deep
in their pockets and turn e the
cash which is SO hard to get. These
very men groan over their lot, curse
poverty and say farming doesn't paw,
And still the experience teaches them
nothing, the teams will be idle or used
on less important jobs, and this one
demand of nature goes unsupplied ex-
cept by recourse to money, the article
of all articles that is scarce upon a
